CIS doesn't add the extra burden you do NOT need. And as of v3.9 Beta CIS now has the Memory Scanner. By the way CIS Protects you from Buffer Overflow Attacks and is designed to work with the AV (You get an AV Alert, You don't get a D+ Alert) - Makes user experience much more pleasant.

Josh,

Nice Spin but when you said "Makes user experience much more pleasant. "... I thought to myself (after shaking my head side to side with an upward motion) that is exactly what COMODO has been striving for; for quite some time.

Comodo has a fine product as does Online Armor. The only difference is ease of use for the casual user. And that boils down to User preference. Both, imho, offer excellent protection.

Take in mind that in installation there are two components: Antivirus and Firewall.
You should un-check Antivirus during installation mode.
Also for when installing Firewall you get 3 options. You should choose the last one which enables Defence +. Only with enabled Defence + in Comodo you can count that it matches OA.

You will be more than adequately protected with either OA or CIS. I have not yet tried the latest beta of CIS so things may have changed in the latest beta. IMHO OA is a far more user friendly product that will give a lot fewer pop ups. If you want free, CIS offers more features than the free version of OA but the need for more features depends on other security layers you may be running.

This paid version of Comodo just has LivePCSupport and additional TrustConnect( which i suppose you don't need it).

Oh yeah Pro version has this one if ever need

PC Tune-up and Green ConfigurationSave money on your electric bill. We'll optimize your power management setting based on how you use your computer. Computer working too slow? We'll give a full scan and fine-tune key areas to improve speed and stability. Includes PC Tune-up service and Green PC Configuration.

I want netbanking protection etc and all those other green ticks protection options in the paid version of OA.

But is there any FREE Firewall that has all those?

There is nothing wrong with wanting a free security solution, however naming a specific product and saying you want all the features of that product without paying for it is a little rude IMHO. Out of respect for Tall Emu and Online Armor I would not have mentioned it by name and I would not have cut and pasted it's feature list.

Yes, indeed. All that is like for example, saying that you want a productivity suite that has exactly all the feaure set of MS Office (Word, Excel, Power Point, Access, Outlook, etc.) but that is free.

It doesn't make any sense to me.

Off topic : Aren't you a former user nicknamed “Truthseeker” that was banned from Wilders a few months ago?

I respect your right to have your own beliefs, and I hope you respect my right to have my own beliefs. So lets agree to disagree.

1. Openoffice

2. Makes sense to me.

3. Yes I was known as Truthseeker, but in all honesty I cannot remember ever being banned here... and I cannot recall why I began using this new nickname... maybe you are right,, I honestly cannot remember.

So why pay money for OA when we can get similar features for free using COMODO?

I wonder the same thing!

The ONLY difference between The professional version of CIS and free CIS is 2 things:

- You get your own PC geek 24x7x365
- You get TrustConnect (Used for weird connections, if you are going away, in air port, etc).

I personally have the Pro version and find the Supports Experts EXTREMELY helpful and very very knowledgeable. Good chunk of these guys are MS Certified... So I no longer rely on on-demand antimalware software, if a malware problem or whatever alies I will just ask them to sort them out. Anyway but point is between CIS Free and Pro you get same updates, same features and same great protection - There is NOT limited protection or any missing features between the 2. Only Service's are the difference, which IMO is $$ wise.

By the way, If you REALLY don't want to deal with Treat As, etc I can give you CIS v3.9 beta which is much more quieter and has one click allow/block Alerts. It's in beta and due for release in 2 weeks, but It's very stable based on user feedback.
